ArtsLab

As a way to celebrate the successes of the past 50 years in the arts field, Americans for the Arts has collected Green Papers from a variety of national arts service organizations and peer groups representing different perspectives and disciplines. They are now inviting you to join the conversation.

Green Papers are a chance for anyone who cares about the arts to talk about a particular discipline or interest area in a facilitated, open forum. Each participating organization who authored a Green Paper also selected an emerging leader Ambassador to facilitate discussion about the related Paper. Ambassadors will continue this dialogue throughout the year—capturing and synthesizing the ideas, changes, and themes that arise from online discussions. Ambassadors will be led by a group facilitator, Eric Booth. At the end of the year, new Green Papers will emerge that will reflect the overarching changes and ideas proposed through this democratic forum process.

Join the discussion on our future as an arts sector. You may read the Green Papers, comment, and follow the commentary on topics of interest through setting an RSS feed.
